Megan & Eric Say...
We can't thank the events team at The Mowbray and The Chimney House enough for making our wedding day absolutely perfect. As a couple who is pretty laid-back, we were initially worried about being too disorganised to get everything done. At the same time, we were concerned about being overwhelmed with constant calls and messages. But the team managed to strike the perfect balance—super organised and always happy to help, yet totally chilled out and never pushy.
From the moment we first booked until the last song of the night, they made us feel completely relaxed. The day ran smoother than we could have ever imagined, and we were able to truly enjoy every moment without stress. The entire team, from the events staff to the bar and kitchen staff, were incredible—professional, friendly, and attentive.
We were also really impressed with the styling of the venue. We brought a few small items of our own, and the team knew exactly how to place them to make everything look stunning. The venue looked absolutely beautiful so naturally, and it was clear that they paid attention to every detail. We received so many compliments on the venue, but even more on the food, which was absolutely delicious.
It was everything we could have hoped for and more. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better team to make our wedding day unforgettable. Thank you!
